Which CPAP machine do you use? Pros / Cons?

A common device used to help manage sleep apnea is the CPAP machine, which stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. With many different machines on the market... there is a variety in choices.

Which CPAP machine do you use? What are the pros and cons of your CPAP machine?

I use the dreamstation by Philips. I greatly enjoy it compared to my old one, which I had for years and got rid of last year. I enjoy the Dreamstation CPAP because it is easy to use and offers more features:  SmartRamp which automatically works to adjust pressure (makes me sleep easier), LCD screen that shows trends of progress, and BlueTooth Capability, which I have not really used yet.

Hey @Hidden username‍ how do you like the dreamstation? What was the old one you used to have?

I was looking into that one the other day. I am using the now discontinued model from Philips, the RemStar Plus. What I enjoy about this one is that it is very small and compact, so when I do travel it is not very difficult to pack it. The Dreamstation is larger, but it seems to have more modern look, user friendly, and modern technology.

Mine is called a SystemOne.  I hate using a CPAP but I can't lie down and breath without it.  It's got me very dependent on it.  Sometimes just sitting I feel like I need it on.  I think my pressure is on 15 which I always thought was high but I've of other people with a higher pressure.  I'm on nasal pillows right now but have used the small mask over the nose.  I'm not crazy about either one but...

@Hidden username‍ yes. I hate the "CPAP"... Mine is atleast small, but the intrusiveness is the same with all machines. I am a mouth breather so the face mask always worked most for me, but the doing anything in bed with it is a pain, like reading, working on the laptop, watching IPAD, etc.
